Highways England added: “#A5 between #B4100 and the #A4102 near #Chirk is CLOSED in both directions due to an overturned vehicle. Please take care on approach. We will keep you updated. Thank you”

The road closure saw huge queues build up on the diversion route through Chirk along the B5070.

It is not clear if anybody was injured.

A North Wales Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said: “We were called to a spillage on the A5 in Chirk this morning. It involved six cages of milk and we sent four fire appliances to the scene. We assisted with the clean-up of the road.”

The road was re-opened around two and a half hours after the crash at 8.30am.
